Improved service

Service is improving on the Orange and Green lines for the summer period.

Monthly ridership on our métro lines is lower during this period. However, many Montrealers are on vacation and a large number of tourists are in town to take advantage of the festivals and major shows and celebrate our city’s 375th anniversary. Since transporting you is our priority, we will make new improvements to the summer service to make your trips easier and encourage you to leave your car at home and avoid the stress of traffic congestion.

From Monday to Friday, on the Green line

The frequency of trains will be increased before and after rush hours;

One train will be added during morning and evening rush hours.

These improvements represent 140 more trips on this line, compared to the same period in 2016.

From Monday to Friday, on the Orange line

The frequency of trains will also be increased before and after rush hours

Two trains will be added during morning and evening rush hours.

These improvements also represent 140 more trips on this line, compared to the same period in 2016.

These improvements on the orange and green lines will be in force from June 19 to August 27, 2017.
